Heberling MW Grand Master Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M of Idaho 2013-2014 Daniel B. Heberling MW Grand Master Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M of Idaho 2013-2014 My great grandfather homesteaded near Cottonwood, ID in the 1880's and my grandfather was born on that farm. He graduated from Washington State University in 1907 as a civil engineer and worked that profession throughout his life. I was born in California and earned a degree in police science. I worked in law enforcement most of my life. After retiring once, I returned to Idaho and spent four years as a deputy sheriff in Grangeville, Idaho County, where the original farm was located. During my career I was employed in every position in a police department from dispatcher to chief. While in Grangeville I fulfilled a longtime intent and joined the Lodge, Mt. Idaho #9 in 1996. After living in Grangeville long enough to earn a Warden's certificate, I moved to Kootenai County and joined St. Maries #63 and Kootenai #24 in Coeur d'Alene. I served as District Deputy Grand Master under MWGM John Sharp and as Grand Orator under MWGM Harry Black. During that time I served as WM of St. Maries #63 seven times. MWGM Mike Sutton appointed me to the Grand Lodge line in 2006. I have since moved to Hayden and have been employed by the State of Washington as an investigator for 13 years.

They have hope that they and their fellow citizens might continue to enjoy the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, which have been granted to every American as the heritage of free men.

  • The American Doctrine: a Concept Under Siege Stewart W
    The American Doctrine: A Concept Under Siege Stewart W. Miner Virginia Research Lodge No. 1777 March 21, 1992 Setting the Stage I have been interested for many years in the way and manner that Grand Lodges exercise jurisdictional power. By custom, practice, and law Grand Masters and Grand Lodges have in the past assumed, allocated, and implemented almost unlimited authority to the end that Masonic organization and operation has taken on near-monopolistic, if not near- oligarchic, characteristics. Seemingly, moreover, the resultant unique system has been subject, for the most part, to only minimal and periodic challenge. In consequence Grand Lodges have become powers within themselves, answerable on occasion to the membership, but free, by and large, to rigidly control and protect their interests within the confines of proclaimed jurisdictional limits. In furthering this conception of power it has been a common practice for Grand Lodges to declare sovereign authority over all Masons and all lodges within their purview, and in some instances even to claim exclusive Masonic jurisdiction over every male — Mason or not — within their domain. These efforts, in short, while protecting parochial interests, have been undeniably restrictive. In the past quarter-century, however, serious challenges to the authority of Grand Lodges have been launched by individual Masons, by some highly placed leaders in the appendant and coordinate bodies, and by many who themselves lead or have led Grand Lodges. These challenges have caused the initiation of efforts to review Masonic laws and customs, particularly as they pertain to the concept of exclusive territorial jurisdiction — the so-called American Doctrine — in several jurisdictions.

Ohio. HE introduction of Masonry into Ohio is due to the fact that soon after the close of the War of the Revolution, the Master, Jonathan Heart, and some of the members of American Union Lodge settled near Marietta. The Charter of that lodge, which had been granted by the St. John's Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, February 15, 1776, by John Rowe, Grand Master (in the Connecticut Line of the Army),1 was held by the Master, and he claimed that it was a lodge at large and not under the jurisdiction of any Grand Lodge, and in fact "it was invested with every power necessary to constitute, rule, and govern" Masonry in the Territories. It had been recognized "by the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New York, as a constituent of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts." This lodge worked for several years until its Charter was burned; a revival of it was asked for from the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, which was declined, "except as one of its constituent." Application to the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts was made, which authorized the lodge to resume work under a copy of the original Charter, "with the express provision that the charter should be of force only until a Grand Lodge should be formed in the territory in which it was located." The Grand Lodge of Ohio was organized January 7, 1808.
